Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 97

Chapter 97:

Eileen rested her head on his shoulder, her eyes fixed on his alluring Adam’s apple.

The room’s silence did little to thin the air of intimacy, and after a while, Bryan’s breathing turned heavy and rough.

Noticing this, Eileen straightened her clothes, slid off his lap, and moved to sit at the other end of the sofa, clutching a book and staring down, seemingly deep in thought.

“Why did Vivian say that you’re pregnant?” Bryan broke the silence abruptly, turning his head to look straight at her.

Eileen shook her head. “I don’t know where she got that.”

Bryan’s expression showed dissatisfaction with her response, frowning. He massaged his forehead before posing another question, “Do you still want to return to Apex Group?”

This question tightened Eileen’s chest, leaving her feeling torn.

Even though Vivian was no longer at Apex Group, returning to work with Bryan would place her right back in the midst of the Warren family’s troubles.

She would once again be embroiled in their conflicts.

Yet, if she didn’t return, she would forfeit her salary, and she needed money right now.

Observing her deep in thought, Bryan let out a scoff.

He stood up, approached her, and rested his hand on the back of the sofa, leaning down to pinch her chin and forcing her to meet his gaze.
